Well here we all are, harping on about how games will be in the future and which of today's consoles is best. But i reckon it might be time to open some new doors here and allow a retrospective look at gaming. I am sure we all had loads of laughs in the past, in the realms of the 16 colour (if you're lucky) games and before the onslaught of 3D environments. So let's not forget gaming's illustrious past and pay homage to some of history's greats.
I remember the time i first saw a gameboy (and tetris of course) in my local Dixons. It was a thing of marvel, and quite rightly, since it has led the way in miniaturising gaming and allowed us to play whilst on holdiay. Or the months i spent playing kick off on my atari st. Aftertouch!! This game was incredibly good. Or duck hunt on the NES (light gun ... what fun!).
So how a bout a new forum about gaming history in which we can all reminisce about what it was like back then ..... review an old classic so that the rest of us can sit back and say "oh yeah, that was great/crap, that one", or compare the state of the games market then and now. What is then best game of all time, or which ones did we marvel at when they were originally released (and looking back on it, why?!).
Let's fuel those gaming memories ... watch this space.
